Submitted by John T. Haller on July 22, 2010 - 2:46pm

Database Browser Portable 3.2.2.9 has been released. Database Browser Portable is an easy to use tool allows you to connect to any database (Oracle, MS-SQL, MySQL, Firebird, etc) and browse or modify data, run sql scripts, export and print data. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Suite. Database Browser Portable is freeware for both commercial and personal use.

PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format

This app is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

The procedure with our releases is to only sign ones that we produce. In this case, DB Software Laboratory has produced the software and the installer, so it doesn't get signed. This is the same with other installers produced by their own development teams, for example Team Viewer, Task Coach, BPBible and Inkscape. If they have a digital signature and wish to sign it themselves, they're welcome to, but our signature won't be used on it.

Additionally, it's our policy to only sign open source releases, not freeware releases which we can't completely guarantee the content of as we can't see the source code.

Digitally signing is up to the publisher. Some publishers do. Some publishers do not. A certificate good for one year (which then expires and must be purchased again) costs between US$180 and US$500 depending on the provider you buy from. Thus, some publishers do not sign code. Most smaller open source projects and freeware providers do not.
